Bethesda has released a new video for Dishonored 2 spotlighting Corvo and it's pretty awesome. The gameplay trailer reveals some of our potential protagonist's moves (you have the choice between him or Emily), as well a bit of the story in Dishonored 2.
We haven't heard too much on the antagonist, Delilah Kaldwin, but the trailer gives us a good idea on what we are up against. What's interesting here is that Delilah Kaldwin, the "New Empress," appears to be a direct relative of Emily Kaldwin (obviously), but she wasn't mentioned very much (if at all) prior to this trailer.
There's a lot in this trailer – even potentially spoilery stuff – let's take a look at some still from the trailer below (unless you're afraid of spoilers) and do a bit of theory crafting!
Look below the cat.
Are you ready kids?! I can't hear you.
This is the new empress, the one that Corvo is trying to track down and brutally murder (or not, depends on your playstyle).
In addition to that, the trailer hints at Corvo leaving behind what appears to be young Emily.
If Emily is killed when you choose Corvo as your protagonist, this poster would make sense. Unless, Corvo is still being chased down for the actions that occurred in the first game, but this game takes place 15 years later…
On top of that, Corvo says the following line in the trailer:
"Everything you love, everything you hold dear… I'll destroy."
The statement is aimed at Delilah. If Delilah killed Emily and framed Corvo (apparently a trend in his life), he'd probably be pretty upset and want some revenge. Oh, and by the way, this is Delilah.
Oh, and do you know what this looks like… Corvo DYING when you choose Emily as your protagonist.
Dishonored 2 is set to release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on November 11.
